My dad is officially senile.

  • At the ripe age of 62. Some highlights:
    -Owns an awesome 70 inch TV, but is too cheap to buy the HD package on DirecTV.
    -Is absolutely shocked about the election results, and the impending "fiscal cliff" debate.
    -He thinks I earn too much money for a person under the age of 30.
    -Believes television shows such as Hardcore Pawn and Storage Wars are 100% real and unscripted.
    -Is undoubtedly a millionaire in terms of assets owned, but is still worried about his retirement and having enough to survive.

    This is coming from a guy who has in the past acted much younger than his age. I'm interested, are all Baby Boomers you know beginning to become senile as well now? I'm thinking that its probably time to start stripping their power before they completely allow everything to go to shit.

    I'm not positive, but I think you have to buy a new dish(which can probably be negotiated for free).

    At least you're showing compassion. He raised a good kid.

    How does any of that make him senile? You should consider yourself lucky you got to spend the day with your old man.

    Not 62 but that's 7 years away and if I had a 70 inch tv I'd have the best package and an awesome surround sound. Also, lets raise taxes on guys like your dad who can handle it to help reduce the defict and expand Obamacare!

    I was raised primarily by my mom. He's a good guy, but he's losing his ability to sift through the bullshit. The fact that he doesn't believe people under 30 should have any economic freedom/power is really what I find absurd.

    Except for the $10 extortion they charge for the receiver.

    I'm 66 years old; and if I knew you posted your message as my son, I'd smack you so hard you wouldn't wake up until Sunday. To post such garbage on Thanksgiving about your father, you have no heart, soul or brain.

    Anyone who thinks the Baby Boomers will let the rest of us get out alive are fooling themselves.

    Those dudes are going to toss a grenade in the room as they shut the door behind them.

    I could kick my dad's ass, so there's really no discipline going on anymore. It's pathetic to think that baby boomers are trying so hard to maintain control/power, and do absolutely nothing positive for later generations with it.

  • Let's get this straight, you are wondering about somebody's mental capacity because of the caliber of their television reception?

    I wonder about you.

    It's fucking TV.

    A million a year, not a million total. You suck. Learn facts.

    If your generation respected the Baby Boomers a whole lot more instead of being so self centered, our generation might not be so disdainful of your self-entitlement attitude.

    The Boomers accusing the next generation of acting entitled.

    That's fucking rich.
